This mini site presents the results of European PQ Survey with a focus on power quality critical sectors.
The main brochure explains why the industrial sectors interviewed lose annually upwards of €150 billion as a direct result of their electrical power installations not being sufficiently reliable and resilient for today’s and future operating demands.
In the following brochure, every site manager or CEO will discover why his own industry is at risk, detailed examples of case studies reported during the survey interview phase as well as main further actions that may quickly lead to change & money savings for their company/site.
